So I thought I was really, really gonna hate going on our fall midwest retreat (all the volunteers from milwaukee, chicago, and minneapolis/st. paul--about 40 people--get together and, well, retreat and stuff) in the middle of nowhere, wisco, but I had a great time!! Sure, it sucked talking a lot and having to discuss, discuss, discuss the whole weekend, but I re-met (after meeting them at orientation in august) some pretty awesome people--I was an extroverted introvert!!--and got to relax a little bit, too. Played an awesome game of spoons (I have the carpet burn to prove it!), went hiking, got to relax in the sauna followed by running around in the frigid midnight air (it's really cool when the steam is rising off your body!--although this could account for my stuffy nose and sore throat), read a lot, and played some mean foosball.
It was just really good to be reminded that other people are doing this, too, and that they have the same struggles I do. It was also really neat to hear ideas about how to live simply or how to be a better community from some of the other houses. LVC is schweeeet. :D
Going back to work today after five days of retreating was pretty ugh. It actually really sucked and that's all I have to say about that. (thumbs down) I gotta get to bed, hope everyone's having a grand old time in their little corner of the world.
Highlight of my day: I got to listen to my beloved UND Sioux Crew Bball band tonight (and how I miss them!)...thanks Drewsef...you made my day! :D :D You're awesome.
